Tanning Effects

People take risks with their health every day. Some people neglect their bodies all together by smoking, drinking, or eating lots of junk food. Do you ever think about the risks we encounter when we bathe in the sun, trying to get that glow. Effects of tanning on the skin may be harmful to your body in many ways, including increasing your chances of skin cancer.  

There are a couple types ofUV (Ultra Violent) rays that cause skin damage. UVA is the greater of the two, and usually is the responsible for cancer of the skin. UVB rays are what make sunburns red. Having many sunburns also can lead to skin cancer. If you choose to take the chance please wear a sunscreen that repels both types of UV rays.

People who have a large amount of freckles or moles on their body have an even greater risk of developing skin cancer. Another side effect of tanning is premature aging. Who needs to get older quicker? Other related problems are skin losing elasticity making an early introduction of wrinkles.  

Going to a tanning bed is yet another way to get that golden glow. Tanning beds penetrate deeper so they too are accounted for rapid-aging. The effects of tanning in a bed hardly seem worth the risk.

Sunless tanning is by far the safer and healthier alternative. It will give you a safe tan all year round without any harmful exposure to UV rays. A person can go to a spray tanning booth at their health club. Sunless tanning is not what it used to be. Companies have perfected the science of sunless tanning.

Yet another healthy alternative are tanning creams you can apply to your skin it will bronze your skin the way you like. There are also make-up products that will give you the perfect bronzed look without any harmful effects of tanning outdoors.
